InStat AutoCrop

InStat has its own filming technology: it uses the panoramic 4K footage later supported with AI special algorithms to crop the frame to feature all field players on the screen simultaneously. This footage is superior to the TV video, because coaches have to see every player in any second of the match, while a regular cameraman follows the ball and only shows a few players at any angle.

Live data is used by TV and websites to enrich the broadcast and attract viewers.
